Looking at the world images from interplanetary station Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists have noticed a curious object, according to the publication Daily Mail.

Such formations are of particular interest to researchers of Mars, as they are natural shelters that provide protection from the harsh climate of the planet (the temperature on Mars is minus 50 degrees Celsius, although in some places it may reach minus 150). In the caves of just this type, according to scientists, there are various unknown forms of life. Also, these objects could in the future become a suitable place to land, as the spacecraft, as well as other automatic devices, as well as placing the Martian bases.

Scientists have admitted that while a loss to explain the nature of the strange object. Many researchers believe that beneath the surface of Mars may well be located branched cave, which can be located and the water in a liquid state, and even living organisms.
